It is assumed that the standard position of the axis, shown in green in the figure, is to the left of the reference point switch displayed at position “0”. The axis is moved at a defined velocity and in a defined direction by a positive edge at the “Execute” input of the “MC_Home” block. The specific direction and velocity at which the axis shall be moved are defined in the technology object configuration. (Chapter 3.4, Configuration). The axis only moves as defined in this parameterized configuration when the “Mode” input of the “MC_Home” block is set to the value “3”.
